MANILA - The House independent bloc wants the Aquino administration to disclose if it committed to change the 1987 Constitution in signing the peace agreement it is finalizing with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).

The bloc's head, Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez, said in a statement: "Foremost among the details we want to clarify is the reported commitment of the government panel that the Constitution will be amended if necessary just to finalize the peace agreement.If this is true, we want to know by what law or by whose authority did the government panel commit the Constitution to the MILF. We are not aware of any law providing such an authority to any government panel.”
